Teen Summer Reading Program: (2)

It's that time of year again to start planning the Teen Summer Reading Program.

I have a bunch of craft ideas to choose from this year. I'm not sure teens care about the theme as much, so my crafts don't always follow that.

We're virtual again this summer, so we're creating Take & Make craft bags.

Last week we talked about crafts. This week it's all about food.

Here are some ideas - all from Pinterest. 

Polar Bear Pretzels
